OCT. 24, 2019 EMPOWERMENT THROUGH COMMUNITY IN ACTION

FAWE's vision statement was captured on display last week when Martin County Sheriffs on bicycles and Stuart Police Department cruisers escorted the kindergarten students, teachers and chaperones, who were on foot, to a field trip at Publix. "The Martin County Sheriff Office and Stuart Police Department modeled for our kindergarten students the FAWE vision statement 'Empowerment Through Community' by demonstrating how two local organizations can come together to help support others," Principal Deb Riley said. A big thank you to Publix for welcoming our group with open arms. The PTA also would like to thank community supporter Uncle Giuseppe's Lil-Bit-a-Brooklyn for donating pizzas to feed students at the PTA General Membership meeting last week.

Safety Patrol + Elev8Hope = Change!

"Felix A Williams Elementary School Safety patrol has taken things to an entirely new level. They feel it’s imperative that they spread awareness about Elev8hope. By doing so, they used their own money and purchased Elev8hope t-shirts. Why? Because they see their peers struggling and they want to educate their classmates and parents about us. Anyone can go through hard times at any point and it is important to know we are all in it together. If we hold hands there’s no way we can fall." -Rina Esposito-Shpiruk, Founder and CEO of Elev8hope Compassion In Action

Be the Change, Give your Change   Water Wednesdays We are collaborating with schools across Martin County to sponsor clean water wells for villages in South Sudan as we partner with Water for South Sudan and Students4H2O.   Some facts to share with students: 663 million people on our planet lack access to safe, clean drinking water The task of collecting water tends to fall on women and children between the ages of eight and 13. As a result, women are often unable to get jobs or contribute financially to their households. Children are often unable to go to school or get an education due to the thousands of hours they have to spend annually just hauling water. They fill a jerry can with water. These 5 gallon containers weigh 44 pounds. Women and children are walking many hours carrying these and the worst thing is that the water they bring home for their family is often contaminated and makes children and their families sick. Together, WE can make a difference! Imagine how having a well with access to clean drinking water could change an entire village and affect lives. This would be a GREAT thing to talk about with your students---can they think of what might change?   We are also starting something we are calling #waterwednesdays   Wednesday, your class can meet fundraising goals and get rewards to celebrate. The first one is coming up next week---If your whole class collectively donates at least $10, the class can have 5 minutes of extra recess! That’s a win for students, a win for teachers, and a win for our efforts to build a well!!

UPDATE: Teachers Out of Field When a teacher in a district school system is assigned teaching duties in a class dealing with subject matter that is outside the field in which the teacher is certified, section 1012.42 of Florida Statute requires that the parents of all students in the class shall be notified in writing of such assignment. A parent whose student is assigned an out-of-field teacher may request that his or her child be transferred to an in-field classroom teacher within the school and grade in which the student is currently enrolled. See the updated document here .
